Suppose $f_1,f_2$ and $f_3$ are vectors in a vector space $V$ with a dot product. Me assume that the vectors are linearly independent.
What does it mean to find the covariant metric tensor of $\text{span}\{f_1,f_2,f_3\}$?

Metric tensor would be the matrix $(g_{ij})$ given by the products $\langle f_i,f_j \rangle$. Covariant means (probably) that matrix (the inverse matrix transforms contravariantly).
